Esquimaux Husky, from the Dogs of the World series for Old Judge Cigarettes 1890

This chromolithograph, titled "Esquimaux Husky," is part of the "Dogs of the World" series created by Goodwin & Company in 1890 for Old Judge Cigarettes. The artwork depicts a husky dog, a breed known for its thick fur and endurance, standing against a light blue background. This series of cards was popular in the late 19th century and served as a form of advertising for the cigarette brand. The image exemplifies the company's use of naturalism and realistic detail to showcase the diverse breeds of dogs. This card, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the history of commercial art and the popularity of dog breeds in the 19th century.
